Make the Lesley Circle Skirt

Description

Here, we show you how to make a patternless circle skirt, sweet and simple. With just a little basic geometry and a big piece of fabric, you are on your way to a beautiful wrap skirt. We are drawing two concentric circles: the inner circle is the waistline, and the outer circle is the hem. The difference between the inner and outer circles’ circumference measurements creates a gentle, lovely fullness. (This method works for a shorter skirt on a wide fabric. For a longer skirt and/or wider waist, you may have to use seams in your circle.)

Oh my god this is darling. Thank you for this! After running into some of these awesome patterns I kind of feel crazy spending so much on clothes when you guys make cuter ones for way less haha. :D Hope to get back to this page soon with a finished skirt!

I have a question. I’m rather new at sewing. In this step 4. I have done part of the step. The 2nd part where it says "fold and press at 1 1/2 inches, this is the facing. I am confused by this. Not bc your pattern is confusing, but because I am still novice.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Thanks
Karla
